To provide a
machine tool and a method for calculating the amount of reduced
power consumption for the
machine tool, which can accurately and easily calculate the amount of reduced
power consumption.SOLUTION: An NC lathe 1 includes: an energization
signal switching unit 111 that switches an energization
signal set for each electrically-driven device between an energization request state that requests energization of the electrically-driven device and an energization unnecessary state that does not request energization; an inhibition
signal switching unit 112 that switches an energization inhibition signal set for each electrically-driven device between an inhibition state that prohibits energization of the electrically-driven device and an
authorization state that permits energization; a signal determination unit 13 that determines for each electrically-driven device whether the energization signal for the electrically-driven device is in the energization request state and the energization inhibition signal is in the inhibition state, that is, whether the electrically-driven device is in a reduced power state; and a reduction amount calculation unit 14 that calculates the amount of reduced power by finding an accumulated time of the reduced power state, calculating the amount of reduced power for each electrically-driven device based on the accumulated time, and adding up the amounts of reduced power for each device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
